We augment the I/O automaton model of Lynch and Tuttle with probability, as a step toward the ultimate goal of obtaining a useful tool for specifying and reasoning about asynchron...
Model-checking has turned out to be an efficient and relatively easy-to-use technique in the verification of formally described programs. However, there is one major drawback in u...
We explore the problem of specification and verification of compliance in agent based Web service compositions. We use the formalism of temporal-epistemic logic suitably extended ...
The main characteristics of component models is their strict structure enabling better code reuse. Correctness of component composition is well understood formally but existing wor...
Color features are among the most important features used in image database retrieval, especially in cases where no additional semantic information is available. Due to its compac...
